Laois breeder Garrett Behan left Roscommon Mart on Saturday with both the senior championship and the top price of €8,700.
Similar to previous weeks, the best trade was for store and forward bullocks at Balla Mart on Saturday.
Incidents of vandalism, criminal damage and trespassing on Irish farms were reported by 39% of respondents in an agricultural crime survey carried out by Waterford Institute of Technology and ICSA. Meanwhile, the same survey shows that agricultural diesel is the most stolen item on Irish farms.
In an interview with the Irish Farmers Journal, founder of BNRG Renewables David Maguire says 70% of solar projects in Ireland won't be competitive.
With the clocking ticking down towards the 31 May deadline for completing all measures in year one of the Knowledge Transfer Programme, we ask what are you paying your vet for a Knowledge Transfer farm health plan?
